Description: Looking for a magazine that covers war, sex, the drug trade, and Hollywood in 1940s America set to a backdrop of scantily clap pinup models? Buy this. Pinup fans and World War II collectors—you want this. Fans of 1940s pop culture, aesthetics, design and typography—you need this. Not only does the subject matter of this issue make it one of the most desirable back issues of Snap Magazine, but I would be shocked if you found a better preserved copy from any year. This came into my possession sealed in a plastic sleeve. It wasn’t rolled up or folded. No tears or big stains. No strange odors. The edges and corners are in superb shape and the pages are still tightly bound. This issue of Snap Magazine was published in June 1941 and is an extraordinary snapshot (no pun intended) of American pop culture just months before Pearl Harbor. One of the main articles is called “Must we crush Japan?” and is a fascinating look at the American perspective on the eve of Pearl Harbor. The June 1941 issue of Snap blends pop culture, sex, art, and war, all set against the backdrop of lots of pretty and scantily clad pinup models! Come on…doesn’t get much cooler than that. Models include the iconic Veronica Lake, Lana Turner, Jean Stanton and Ida Lupino. Also: Alexis Smith, Mary Brodel, Marie McDonald, Elco Cruiser, and many more. Feature include: - “Must we crush Japan?” an ominous American perspective on the threat posed by the Japanese empire. - Features on child soldiers from around the globe - A deep dive into a “hashish epidemic” in Egypt - Diary of a Hollywood model (Nadine McNulty) - A preview of James Roosevelt’s “Pot ‘O Gold” ——- Condition: Very good (very minor wear and creasing. A few small faint spots confined to a few small areas of the magazine. Some age discoloration but overall, it is extremely clean and has been well preserved) Dimensions: 10.5” x 13.5” Page count: 32
